What Our Customers Say
🇳🇱Jan de Vries
★★★★★
Purchased a reconditioned Yamaha F150 from Green Boat Engines for my Boston Whaler. The engine arrived crated perfectly, started first time, and has now done 280 hours without a single issue. The service report was incredibly detailed — every torque value documented. Could not be happier with the value.
🇳🇱Sanne Jansen
★★★★★
Had my Volvo Penta D3-220 serviced here for the annual maintenance. The technicians were professional, the workshop was spotless, and they even sent me photos of the compression test results. Pricing was transparent with no surprises. Will definitely return next season.
🇳🇱Pieter Bakker
★★★★★
Bought a new Mercury 25HP for my dinghy. Free shipping within the Netherlands was a nice bonus, and it arrived in just 2 days. The pre-delivery inspection and test run gave me confidence that the engine was ready to go. Excellent service from start to finish.
🇳🇱Emma van Dijk
★★★★★
Green Boat Engines winterized my inboard diesel and stored it over the off-season. When spring came, they delivered it commissioned and ready to drop in. Not a single issue on first start. The 10% discount for booking winterization and commissioning together saved me good money.
🇳🇱Willem Smit
★★★★★
I was skeptical about buying a reconditioned engine online, but the team at Green Boat Engines walked me through every step. They sent videos of the engine running on their test bed before crating. My Perkins M92 is running like new after 6 months. Honest people doing honest work.
🇳🇱Sophie Hendriks
★★★★★
My generator started surging voltage at anchor. I called their diagnostic hotline and a technician talked me through a quick AVR check over the phone. When that did not solve it, they had a mobile technician at my marina the next day. The AVR replacement was done in 2 hours. Outstanding support.
🇩🇪Markus Weber
★★★★★
Ordered a reconditioned Volvo Penta D4-300 for my Bavaria 42 from Germany. Shipping took 4 days and the crate was immaculate. The engine had only 320 hours before rebuild and came with a 12-month warranty. After 400 hours of cruising the Baltic, I can say it was the best marine purchase I have made.
🇩🇪Klaus Müller
★★★★★
My Yanmar 4JH57 needed a top-end overhaul after 4,200 hours. Green Boat Engines provided a detailed quote within 24 hours of my enquiry. The teardown photos showed exactly why the overhaul was needed. The rebuilt engine runs smoother and quieter than when it was new. German precision meets Dutch expertise.
🇩🇪Sabine Schmidt
★★★★★
Bought a Fischer Panda 8kW generator for our liveaboard catamaran. The Green Zone team advised on sound insulation and exhaust routing to keep noise below 60dB in the cabins. The load-bank test certificate they provided showed voltage stability within 1%. Very professional.
🇩🇪Hans Fischer
★★★★★
I run a small fishing charter on the North Sea coast. Green Boat Engines rebuilt both my Honda BF150 outboards during the winter. They coordinated pickup from my marina, completed the work in 3 weeks, and delivered them rigged and ready. No lost charter days in spring. Highly recommended for commercial operators.
🇩🇪Clara Braun
★★★★★
Had a hard-starting issue with my Mercury Verado 250 that two local mechanics could not diagnose. Green Boat Engines ran a full EFI diagnostic, found an intermittent injector fault, and had it ultrasonically cleaned and flow-tested. The problem has not returned in 8 months. Worth every euro.
🇧🇪Lucas Peeters
★★★★★
Bought a reconditioned Yamaha F200 for my Jeanneau Merry Fisher. Shipping to Antwerp was smooth, customs documentation was handled perfectly, and the engine started on the first pull. The 12-month warranty and detailed service history gave me complete peace of mind. Excellent value.
🇧🇪Marie Dupont
★★★★★
Had my inboard diesel heat exchanger re-tubed here after saltwater corrosion was found during annual service. The new tubes, end caps, and pressure test were all documented with photos. The workshop kept me updated by email at every stage. Transparent and trustworthy.
🇧🇪Bart Janssens
★★★★★
Green Boat Engines supplied and installed a new Vetus 55HP diesel in my motor yacht. The installation included shaft alignment with a dial indicator, flexible coupling replacement, and exhaust system redesign. The sea trial showed perfect vibration levels. True professionals.
🇧🇪Eva Maes
★★★★★
I ordered a propeller, anodes, and a water pump kit for my outboard. The parts arrived in 2 days to Brussels, everything was genuine OEM, and the packaging was plastic-free. It is rare to find a marine supplier that cares about sustainability as much as product quality.
🇫🇷Jean-Louis Martin
★★★★★
Purchased a new Suzuki DF350A for my offshore fishing boat from France. The shipping took 5 days to Marseille, and the crate survived the long road journey perfectly. The pre-delivery setup included oil, coolant, and a full control system check. Ready to fish from day one.
🇫🇷Camille Bernard
★★★★★
Had a complete powerhead rebuild on my Evinrude E-TEC 250 after a piston failure. Green Boat Engines sourced OEM pistons, rings, and bearings, and the rebuilt powerhead was tested on their dyno before shipping to my marina in Nice. The engine now runs better than my backup motor.
🇫🇷Antoine Moreau
★★★★★
My Westerbeke generator needed a full overhaul after 15 years of faithful service. They replaced the engine block, alternator bearings, and control board, then ran a 2-hour load-bank test. The new exhaust system they fitted is noticeably quieter. Great work on a complex job.
🇫🇷Isabelle Laurent
★★★★★
I am based in Corsica and was worried about shipping an engine to an island. Green Boat Engines arranged sea freight to Bastia, handled all the port documentation, and the engine arrived in perfect condition. The local marina forklift unloaded it without issue. Island boaters — do not hesitate.
🇬🇧James Harrison
★★★★★
Ordered a reconditioned Mercury 150HP from the UK post-Brexit. I was concerned about customs, but Green Boat Engines handled all the DDP paperwork and I paid no extra charges on delivery. The engine arrived in Southampton in 6 days, crated professionally. Brexit-proof service.
🇬🇧Emily Watson
★★★★★
Had my Beta Marine 38HP diesel overhauled by Green Boat Engines. I shipped the engine to them from Plymouth and they returned it 3 weeks later with a full photo report, torque sheet, and test results. The compression readings improved from 28 to 32 bar across all cylinders. Impressive.
🇬🇧Oliver Thompson
★★★★★
Bought a crate engine package for a DIY repower of my Westerly Centaur. The engine arrived with every bracket, hose, and fitting needed. The installation guide was written in plain English with diagrams. Even a competent amateur like me had it running in a weekend. Brilliant.
🇬🇧Charlotte Davies
★★★★★
My Onan 7.5kW generator failed during a Channel crossing. Green Boat Engines diagnosed the issue remotely as a faulty AVR, shipped a replacement part to my marina in Brighton within 48 hours, and talked me through the 20-minute swap over the phone. Back to full power before the tide turned.
🇳🇴Erik Solheim
★★★★★
Bought a reconditioned Yanmar 4LHA-STP for my fishing boat in Norway. The engine was crated to ISPM-15 standards for the sea freight to Bergen. Customs clearance was smooth with the EORI number they helped me obtain. The engine has done 600 hours in harsh North Sea conditions without fault.
🇳🇴Ingrid Larsen
★★★★★
My Volvo Penta D6-370 needed a turbo rebuild after 3,000 hours. Green Boat Engines rebuilt the turbo, cleaned the intercooler, and recalibrated the injection pump. The fuel economy improved by 8% after the service. In Norway where diesel is expensive, that adds up fast. Great investment.
🇳🇴Magnus Hansen
★★★★★
Ordered a Fischer Panda 12kW generator for our expedition yacht. The Norwegian winter demands reliable power, and this generator has not missed a beat through two polar seasons. The load-bank test certificate and thermal imaging report proved the quality before it even left their workshop.
🇸🇪Anders Lindqvist
★★★★★
Purchased a new Honda BF250 for my offshore cruiser. Shipping to Gothenburg took 5 days and the Swedish customs process was straightforward with the commercial invoice they provided. The engine is whisper-quiet and sips fuel compared to my old two-stroke. Highly recommended.
🇸🇪Eva Nilsson
★★★★★
Had my marine diesel serviced before the Baltic cruising season. The 1,000-hour major service included valve grinding, heat exchanger cleaning, and alternator rebuild. Everything was documented in a bound report that I have added to my boat's log. Professional documentation matters.
🇸🇪Fredrik Eriksson
★★★★★
Bought a reconditioned Mercury Verado 300 from Green Boat Engines. I was concerned about buying a high-performance engine second-hand, but the compression test, leak-down test, and ECU scan report showed it was in better condition than most new engines after break-in. Trust the data.
🇩🇰Niels Petersen
★★★★★
Ordered a Vetus 80HP diesel for my new build motorboat in Denmark. The engine was delivered to my boatyard in Frederikshavn with all the installation hardware and a detailed rigging manual. The yard manager said it was the most complete engine delivery he had seen. Attention to detail counts.
🇩🇰Mette Jensen
★★★★★
Had both engines in my twin-screw cruiser serviced by Green Boat Engines. They synchronized the service intervals, replaced both raw-water impellers, and balanced the fuel injectors. The engines now run in perfect harmony with no vibration at any RPM. Twin engine owners know how important that is.
🇮🇹Marco Rossi
★★★★★
Purchased a reconditioned Yanmar 3YM30 for my Italian-built sailing yacht. The engine was shipped by road freight to Genoa and arrived in 4 days. The Italian customs process was smooth as an EU delivery. The engine fits perfectly in the original engine bed. Bellissimo.
🇮🇹Giulia Bianchi
★★★★★
My Fiat-powered marine diesel needed a full rebuild after 18 years. Green Boat Engines sourced the correct pistons and liners from Italy, had them shipped to their workshop, and completed the rebuild to factory specs. The engine now purrs like a kitten. Grazie mille.
🇮🇹Alessandro Ferrari
★★★★★
Bought a new Suzuki DF200A for my RIB from Green Boat Engines. The price was better than any Italian dealer I contacted, and the shipping to Naples was included in the EU rate. The engine was pre-rigged with the control box and cables I specified. Ready to install.
🇪🇸Carlos García
★★★★★
Ordered a reconditioned Volvo Penta D3-220 for my Menorquin yacht. Shipping to Barcelona took 6 days and the crate was in perfect condition despite the long journey. The engine was tested on their dyno before shipping and the performance report matched my requirements exactly. Muy bien.
🇪🇸María López
★★★★★
Had my outboard lower unit resealed after water intrusion was found. Green Boat Engines replaced the seals, bearings, and gear oil, then pressure-tested the unit to 15 psi for 24 hours. The detailed test report and photos of the internal gears gave me complete confidence. Professional work.
🇪🇸José Martínez
★★★★★
Bought a new Honda BF100 for my fishing boat in Galicia. The advisor helped me choose the right shaft length and propeller pitch for my transom height and local fishing conditions. The engine pushes my loaded boat onto plane in 4 seconds. Perfect match.
🇵🇹João Silva
★★★★★
Purchased a reconditioned Perkins 4236 for my traditional Portuguese fishing boat. The engine was crated for sea freight to Lisbon and arrived in 10 days. The mechanical fuel injection system is simple and reliable — perfect for a working boat in Portugal where high-tech service is limited. Obrigado.
🇵🇹Ana Ferreira
★★★★★
Had my marine diesel heat exchanger descaled and pressure-tested after overheating in the Algarve summer. Green Boat Engines used a citric acid descaling process that was gentler on the copper tubes than the harsh chemicals others use. The temperature now stays rock-solid at 80°C.
🇬🇷Dimitris Papadopoulos
★★★★★
Ordered a reconditioned Yanmar 4JH4-TE for my Greek island cruiser. Sea freight to Piraeus took 12 days, which is normal for the route. The engine was wrapped in VCI film and desiccant packs — no corrosion despite the humid sea voyage. Started first time in Athens.
🇬🇷Eleni Nikolaou
★★★★★
My generator failed during a summer cruise in the Cyclades. Green Boat Engines arranged a courier to ship an AVR and voltage regulator to my marina in Paros within 3 days. The remote troubleshooting guide they emailed me had the generator running in 30 minutes. Island cruising saved.
🇭🇷Ivan Horvat
★★★★★
Purchased a reconditioned Yamaha F115 for my Croatian charter boat. The engine was delivered to Split in 5 days and the documentation was perfect for our flag-state inspection. The 12-month warranty and detailed service report satisfied our insurance requirements. Odlično.
🇭🇷Ana Kovač
★★★★★
Had my charter fleet of 5 outboards serviced before the Adriatic season. Green Boat Engines completed all five in 4 days with full compression tests, impeller changes, and ECU scans. The fleet maintenance contract they offer is perfectly suited for charter operators. Highly efficient.
🇮🇪Sean O'Brien
★★★★★
Ordered a reconditioned Perkins M92 from Ireland. Shipping to Cork took 6 days via road and ferry. The engine was perfect for my old fishing boat — simple, reliable, and easy to maintain in a remote harbour without dealer support. The service report is my new bible for maintenance.
🇮🇪Aoife Murphy
★★★★★
Had my marine diesel winterized by Green Boat Engines before I stored the boat in a yard in Galway. They collected the engine, performed the winterization, and returned it commissioned in spring. The fogging oil and coolant treatment prevented any off-season corrosion. Ready for the Atlantic.
🇨🇭Hans Müller
★★★★★
Bought a new Torqeedo electric outboard for lake cruising on Lake Geneva. The Green Zone team calculated my exact range requirements, recommended the right battery capacity, and even advised on solar panel sizing for my mooring. Silent, clean, and perfectly suited to Swiss lake regulations.
🇨🇭Claudia Weber
★★★★★
Had my inboard diesel serviced before the Alpine lake season. The workshop replaced the raw-water impeller, changed all fluids, and performed a compression test. The bound service report in English and German was accepted by our local boat registration authority without translation. Professional.
🇦🇹Franz Huber
★★★★★
Purchased a new Suzuki DF140 for my Danube river cruiser. The advisor recommended the freshwater cooling version for river use where debris can clog raw-water intakes. The engine has handled thousands of kilometres on the Danube without overheating. River-specific advice matters.
🇫🇮Juhani Virtanen
★★★★★
Bought a reconditioned Volvo Penta D2-55 for my Finnish archipelago cruiser. The engine was shipped by road to Helsinki and arrived in 6 days. The advisor recommended a specific cold-weather starting kit that has the engine firing even at -15°C. Finnish winter boating requires Finnish-grade advice.
🇫🇮Aino Korhonen
★★★★★
My outboard needed a new water pump impeller before the short Finnish summer season. Green Boat Engines shipped the part to Turku in 3 days with a video link showing the exact replacement procedure. I had it done in 20 minutes and was fishing by afternoon. Kiitos.
🇵🇱Krzysztof Nowak
★★★★★
Ordered a reconditioned Perkins M135 for my Polish-built motor yacht. The engine was delivered to Gdańsk in 5 days and the Polish customs was simple as an EU delivery. The engine was painted in the original Perkins blue and looked as good as it ran. Dziękuję.
🇵🇱Anna Kowalska
★★★★★
Had my marine diesel injection pump calibrated after rough running was detected. Green Boat Engines used a Bosch test bench to verify each injector's spray pattern and flow rate. The calibration certificate they provided was accepted by our local marine surveyor for insurance purposes.
🇹🇷Mehmet Yılmaz
★★★★★
Purchased a new Yamaha F300 for my Turkish gulet. Sea freight to Istanbul took 14 days, which is standard for the route. The engine was crated to international standards with ISPM-15 timber and arrived without a scratch. The pre-installation briefing they provided was thorough. Teşekkürler.
🇲🇹John Camilleri
★★★★★
Bought a reconditioned Yanmar 3YM30 for my Maltese luzzu fishing boat. The engine was shipped by sea freight to Valletta and cleared customs in 2 days. The simple mechanical injection system is perfect for a working boat in Malta where high-tech service is limited. Reliable choice.
🇲🇹Maria Mifsud
★★★★★
Had my outboard serviced before the busy Maltese summer charter season. Green Boat Engines completed the service, compression test, and water pump replacement in 48 hours. The fast turnaround meant I did not miss a single charter booking. Summer in Malta waits for no one.
🇪🇪Andres Tamm
★★★★★
Ordered a new Honda BF60 for my Estonian coastal cruiser. Shipping to Tallinn took 5 days and the engine arrived ready for the Baltic season. The advisor recommended a specific propeller for the cold, dense Baltic water that improved acceleration noticeably. Baltic-specific expertise.
🇱🇻Līga Bērziņa
★★★★★
Had my marine diesel heat exchanger re-tubed after saltwater corrosion from the Baltic Sea. Green Boat Engines used cupro-nickel tubes for better corrosion resistance than the original copper. The upgrade was explained clearly and the price difference was minimal. Smart upgrade.
🇨🇿Pavel Novotný
★★★★★
Purchased a new Tohatsu 9.8HP for my river dinghy on the Vltava. The engine was delivered to Prague in 4 days and the compact size is perfect for navigating the narrow Prague canals. The advisor recommended the sailboat version with the 25-inch shaft for my high transom. Perfect fit.
🇭🇺Zsolt Szabó
★★★★★
Had my inboard diesel serviced before the Lake Balaton season. Green Boat Engines shipped a complete service kit to Budapest with the correct oil, filters, and impeller for my specific engine model. The DIY guide they included was clear enough that I did the service myself. Empowering customers.
🇸🇮Matej Kovačič
★★★★★
Bought a reconditioned Yamaha F70 for my Slovenian coastal cruiser. The engine was delivered to Koper in 4 days and the Slovenian customs was a simple EU formality. The engine is perfect for the short Adriatic hops between Piran, Izola, and Koper. Ideal size for our coast.
🇷🇴Adrian Popescu
★★★★★
Ordered a new Mercury 40HP for my Danube Delta fishing boat. The engine was shipped to Bucharest and then transported to Tulcea. The advisor recommended the tiller-steering model for the tight channels of the Delta where a console would be impractical. Perfect advice for the environment.
🇧🇬Ivan Georgiev
★★★★★
Had my marine diesel overhauled after years of Black Sea cruising. The salt and humidity of the Black Sea are harsh on engines, but Green Boat Engines understood the environment and used extra corrosion protection in the rebuild. The engine now has upgraded anodes and sealed connectors. Black Sea ready.
🇦🇪Ahmed Al-Rashid
★★★★★
Ordered a high-performance outboard for my Dubai-based sportfisher. Green Boat Engines arranged air freight to meet my tight deadline, and the engine arrived in 5 days. The heat-resistant paint and upgraded cooling system they recommended are essential for Gulf waters. Perfect for the environment.

🇦🇺David Wilson
★★★★★
I am an Australian boat builder who sources European engines for my builds.

Great international coordination.
